The IOC's executive board also froze contacts with and financial payments to the International Amateur Boxing Association (AIBA), whose interim president has been named as a leading criminal by the US Treasury Department

I wouldn't watch the Olympics ever again if that happens.

I'd have no problem with this. The Olympics been f#cking with amateur boxing & altering it for a decade or two now with killing divisions + adding women divisions few care about. Might as well be gone. Plus with all the AIBA legit gangsta's its a complicated look for the Olympic people with the bad PR boxing has.

I think this would just make the world championships be a bigger tournament that'd get more press & attention by some TV network perhaps.

Same here, only reason I would watch..

... IOC must dismantle AIBA first... and only later reinstate boxing at the Olympics...

It won't get banned. Not a chance in hell, this is all posturing.

While I would be sad to have no boxing to watch at the olympics, I can understand this because something has to be done. Every year this is blatant bull**** going on with these fights, so I guess if they can't find a way to clean it up, just cut it off
